07 FE450
I was pulling my carb apart to clean it and check for issues, and found that the main jet was stripped. I'm guessing it was cross threaded at some point. I got it out of the "main nozzle" (is that what it is called? Or is it a "needle jet" ?) but the threads on the main jet are toast. I now have a new main jet, but the main nozzle (needle jet?) threads are in poor shape. I think I can get them cleaned up with a tap.
Does anyone know the tap size to use? I don't trust my ability to figure this out at the tool store.
Also, the needle is an NVCS which it sounds like was from a Honda. What would be the stock needle if I wanted to put the original one back in?
Thanks all.
